    If there is a good series that has interesting riddles, prophecies or puzzles the characters need to solve please recommend that story.


    More importantly this is a thread where you're supposed to jot down a riddle if one comes to mind. The rule is to add the answer and hide it behind a spoiler button.

    Honestly I don't have a good one of my own to get this started. When I realized that I posted here.

    Token effort: (Not my original)
    Arnold Schwarzenegger has a long one
    Jackie Chan has a short one
    And Madonna doesn't have one
    A last name

    Riddles have really gone out of style now that we can look stuff up on our phones. Now the only ones I can remember easily are the classics from The Hobbit.

    It's not mine, and it's famous(I guess), so only for those who doesn't know:

    It has four legs in the morning,
    Two legs at noon,
    And three legs in the afternoon.

    P.S. I modified it a bit because I'm too lazy to google

    I seem to vaguely remember a few stories on Royal Roads having some riddles in dungeons.
    One was about some guy needing to go through 3 dungeons to collect cheat items, and the other was where the guy was reincarnated into a dungeon, and he used riddles to defend his dungeon core.


    There is a house. One enters it blind and comes out seeing. What is it?

    Answer: A school

    Just thought of one. I am almost everywhere, and everyone needs me.
    However, he who needs me hasn't used me and he who's used me no longer needs me. What am I?
    A toilet

    So Jesus Christ became a school. Good I note. Btw, schools don't teach optical laser surgery or perform it.

    The one I heard is slightly different. Instead of Jackie chan has a short one it's "the pope has one but doesn't use it." ;)

    Got another one. What is always coming but never reaching?
    The future. When it arrives, it is called the present instead.
    What destroys in the name of creation, and blames the world it created for making it the way it is? What screams bloody murder at the slightest slight, but grits its teeth through the toughest times? What is arrogant enough to proclaim it will change the world because it does not wish to change itself? What slaughters and enslaves its own kind for nothing but a fleeting dream and lofty words?
    humans

    What do you see when you look at a mirror?
    a mirror
